Ahhh the #NYPRO is always an amazing show!This 2018 #shape was my very favorite look since I started competing in 2009.Thanks to Kim Oddo @kimbooddo for guiding me on my Figure debut. That was the best I've ever looked. Good memories and, most importantly, great learnings on discipline, focus and commitment to goals. 👊 Those are the biggest awards we get during a prep, and we can use them to achieve basically anything we want in the game of Life.Have a good plan. Commit to it. See the results 💪..#RepostSave@astrongspirit ・・・ Rita looking like a SUPER BAAADDD ASS on that stage earlier this year at the 2018 NY Pro. She won 10 overall titles as an amateur in bodybuilding and Womens Physique and was the 2017 NY Pro runner up in WPD to the current Ms. Olympia but THIS right here when she competed in Figure was her best look ever IMO. I doubt she will compete again but if she did I think she could cause A LOT of problems in the IFBB Figure division. Having said that I'm very proud of all she has accomplished and respect her decision to call it a career. #IFBB#WomensFigure#WomensPhysique#WomensBodybuilding#NPC#FemaleMuscle#IFBBProLeague

The best body is the one that has a happy soul living in it. 🌟The best body is the one that is in balance. That is nourished with nutritious foods in the right amounts, at the right times. 🥦It's the body that has energy to do its daily tasks without struggle. 🤸‍♀️It's the one where the hormones are where they should be in order for the body to function properly naturally. 🤹‍♀️The best body is the one that allows you to experience life healthy and happily, while FEELING amazing. 🧘‍♀️You dont need to live FOR you body. Your body should be treated so well it will long live FOR you. For you to feel good. To feel like yourself. To have energy and enjoy life in a light and peaceful way.That's what #fitness is (or at least should be) about. This is why I decided, 16 years ago, to become a personal trainer: to help others (and myself) to become #FitForLife 💪❤Be fit for life. The nice shape of your body will come as a bonus when you take care of your health nice and consciously. Health starts within. You can look incredible, but if inside (mentally or physiologically) you are unbalanced, the external wont last long either. #fitforlife is the path to lasting happiness.#personaltraining#onlinetraining#mariaritapenteado . 📸 by the talented Kabir @kabirbrah at the #bestgym#bevsgym...For info about online diet/training programs email me at ritashantidmt@gmail.com..Corpo bonito é aquele que tem uma alma saudável vivendo nele.O melhor corpo é aquele que está em equilíbrio. É aquele que recebe comidas nutritivas nas horas certas, nas quantidades certas. É o corpo que tem energia para fazer suas atividades diárias sem sofrimento. É aquele onde os hormônios estão onde deveriam estar, fazendo suas funções de modo apropriado, naturalmente. O melhor corpo é aquele que te permite aproveitar a vida de modo feliz e saudável, sentindo-se bem. Você não precisa viver PARA seu corpo. É seu corpo que precisa ser tratado bem para viver bastante tempo para que você aproveite a vida alegre e equilibrado.Isso sim é a base do #Fitness (ou pelo menos deveria ser).É por esta filosofia que decidi, há 16 anos, tornar-me uma personal trainer. Saúde vem de dentro.

This day was awesome!#NYPRO2017#RepostSave@astrongspirit with @repostsaveapp ・・・ #ThrowbackThursday to the 2017 NY Pro. Rita @ritashantidmt made a comeback to the stage after a 4 year absence after walking away from the stage in her late 20s in 2013. She ended up taking the runner up spot to now Ms. Olympia Shanique Grant @therealfitnessbeautyShanique was already qualified for the Olympia with a win a few months earlier and she was the defending NY Pro Champion as well at the time. We knew going in obviously that Shanique would be a big challenge but we thought why not go right against the best? At least then you'll know right away where you stand. So Rita went in after 4 years away and put up a good fight finishing 2nd to Shanique who is still not only unbeaten in Women's Physique but also now the reigning Olympia Champ. I think if Rita still had the desire to compete in WPD she could give anyone in the sport a run for their money. We will likely never see that however as Rita's goal have changed. She is now focused on other things in life and if she does ever compete again it would likely be in the Womens Figure division as that better suits her physique and fitness goals now anyway. But on this day in May of 2017 I couldnt have been more proud of her...as I am everyday. Rita is a special person and is most certainly my better half. #IFBBProLeague#WomensPhysique#WomensFigure#BevsGym#NewYorkPro#EastCoastMecca#Memories#RepostSave@astrongspirit with @repostsaveapp ・・・ Comparison photos of the top 2 in Women's Physique at NY Pro.
